Erroneous identification and caption of the original photograph

[edit]

The author of the original photograph has erroneously identified the helicopter as a Gazelle SA 342 version while it's a SA 341F2 one: no NADIR box under the tail; the engine hood is from a SA 341 model, slightly different from the SA 342 one.
Beside that, the flight configuration indicates that the speed is well over 65 kts so it can't be preparing to land. Sting (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
